In exploring inspirational homes under 50 square metres, we’re going to submerge in two very different stylistic approaches. Our first apartment tour is a highly decorative neoclassical interior, revelling in the frills of classical boiserie, curious sculptural art, custom metalwork panels & doors and luxe marble statement walls. In stark contrast, the second half of our study takes place in a home design that is sprung from a minimalist mindset. Furniture is sparse, leaving negative space to say more than the sum of contents, and storage is a hidden commodity. Follow along to the end of each apartment tour to see the detailed floor plan.

Decorative boiserie bestows classical elegance upon our first inspirational home interior, which measures in at 48 square metres.
White paintwork and glass surfaces help reflect the natural light from the lounge window all the way to the back of the open plan. A pair of mirrored square coffee tables reflect the rug design to create the illusion of unobstructed space.
Mixed scatter cushions create added interest over a modern grey sofa. Marble slabs around the window add a luxury element to the living room.
A tinted glass wall reveals a glimpse of the walk-in wardrobe, which is accessed just beyond a unique lattice pocket door that gives entry to the bedroom. A black TV stand complements the neighbouring wardrobe’s dark aesthetic.
A black soffit draws zoning above the entryway to the bedroom, its adjoined glass wardrobe and the adjacent home entryway. Recessed spotlights pierce the ceiling above the bedroom walkway, whilst an LED ribbon draws a bright baseline.
In dark reflection with the black soffit, the floor of the home entryway changes from mellow light grey laminate to a hardy black marble tile. Floor to ceiling mirrors swell the perception of space and natural light.
Where natural light falls a little short at the back of the kitchen area, white cabinets have been swapped out for shadowy grey counterparts.
A modern linear suspension light drops low over a rectangle dining table peninsula, lightly dividing the long room plan into two distinct zones.
In conjunction with the change in floor covering, a small cube pouf marks a subtle visual stop between the kitchen and the home entryway.
An unexpected array of hand sculptures create a peculiar display across the top of the kitchen wall cabinets, each one elaborately framed by a decorative boiserie panel.
Inside the bedroom, the striped base of the platform bed introduces a slender block of pattern to a modest grey and white decor scheme.
Slimline bedroom pendant lights call attention to a marble clad window wall, where a custom vanity table/desk has been fashioned across the sill. A modern wall sconce bends reading light around the headboard of the bed.
Latticework breaks up the TV wall, and creates a matching element with the bedroom pocket door.
Another metalwork door closes across the ensuite, which is the only bathroom in the one bed apartment.
An elongated storage unit makes an unusual bedside cabinet design, spanning the space beneath the modern wall sconce and under the perpendicular vanity/workspace.
A black metalwork desk chair ties in with the decorative black lattice door and wall panels.
Heavy drapes draw privacy across the bathroom’s perforated walls.
An unusual cylindrical unit serves at the other side of the bed. A full length mirror doubles the light from a designer bedside table lamp .
A chic decorative tray and matching makeup mirror stylishly match the marble feature wall.
Geometric tiles pattern the ensuite shower space design.
A shower shelf is morphed in one continuous line with the vanity unit.

Our second featured interior is a 42.87 square metre home in Kyiv, Ukraine, executed in a minimalist style.
The interior design focuses on the negative space, on natural light, contrasting colors, materials and textures.
Glass supports help the small dining table to sit lightly in the minimalist layout…
… Views of the cityscape pass right on through.
A wine storage unit becomes the focal point in a wall of simple white kitchen units.
White wall panelling balances out the clean kitchen aesthetic around the dining area.
A copper kitchen backsplash colours the other side of the L-shaped arrangement, and expands as a warm textural statement behind the cosy modern couch.
Inside the bedroom, a bespoke floor bed and elongated headboard design dominate the space. Eye-catching bedroom lighting choices accessorise integrated bedside shelves.
An LED strip across the headboard reflects in the glass wardrobe, causing a faux continuation.
A black and white photographic print makes an artistic pairing with the Oda style lamp . Originals are available here .
A simple pale blue bed runner lifts the monochrome decor scheme.
Over by the window, a scatter cushion adds a matching pop of light blue to a comfortable bedroom chair.
The bedroom chair is actually a matching piece for the living room sofa, which allows furniture to be moved and repurposed to suit company and occasion.
A tinted mirror has been mounted behind the bathroom sink to create a free-floating effect.
A black towel heater smartly utilises wall space at the end of a large shower enclosure.
The wall behind the floating toilet is much more than basic cistern concealment…
… The wall panels open up a cohesive laundry system and useful bathroom storage.

Modern Dark Kitchen Design Ideas to Inspire Your Next Renovation
1. Make it an All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:Design At Sketch
Almost completely covered in black, a few minor elements shine in chrome and wood in this kitchen interior. We love how the textures do the talking, especially through the matte table under black wood-panelled walls. But having an open approach like this means that every one of your accessories on display—including knives, wine glasses, mugs, cutting boards, teapots, cookie jars, etc.—need to be on point.
2. Add Wooden Elements
Visualizer:Bogdan Tovstyy
This black beauty edges towards wooden elements. We see a speckled floor, a white wall, and a central bench. Rounded black lamps hover over the island, providing functionality and style. If you’re wondering how visual intrigue is added to this modern black kitchen… a huge credit goes to the abstract art!
3. Complement the Black Kitchen with Orange
Source:Vancouver House
A bit of curve rounds out the hard edges—adding some much-needed warmth. This wave-design bench leads up to an orange-hued enclave in this black-and-silver interior. The burnt orange sure makes a design statement (apart from the unique central island).
4. Keep Your Dark Modern Kitchen Simple
Visualizer:Panda Fox Studios
A simplistic look makes this black kitchen a winner. We see the basics: a light floor, a black minimalist island, and sleek cabinetry. But the contrast between light and dark keeps the ambiance interesting, while the large window welcomes plenty of natural light.
5. Make it Dark… Or Not?
Visualizer:Who Cares Design
If you’re eyeing a dark kitchen aesthetic but are hesitant to make the change, this is it. Introducing more light, this black kitchen is hardly dark at all. Black benches, cabinetry, fixtures and stools are intersected by large-panel windows, a white shelving stand and light flooring.
6. Make Use of Asymmetry in the Black Modern Kitchen
Visualizer:Visual Method
This modern black kitchen takes another angle on this kaleidoscopic space, breaking all spatial boundaries.

This warmer-looking kitchen makes a move to brown. It strategically achieves the purpose with the use of wood. This not only introduces natural textures but also makes the ambiance inviting. Talk about a modern style that’s equal parts welcoming!
8. Place a White Island in a Black Modern Kitchen
Visualizer:Jean Regauer
An instant way to brighten up a dark kitchen (we mean, get the best of both worlds)? This kitchen space shows us how by using a white island on a black floor. The backsplash further enhances this dark-and-light effect, while the cowhide rug adds just the right amount of coziness.
9. Make Marble Your Best Friend
Architect:Chamberlain Javens Architects
If you’re looking to create a modern luxury black kitchen, you know what you’ve got to do: Go big on marble! This natural stone adds the luxe factor to any space, especially as a large, central island, as seen in the kitchen above. You can also add it through the backsplash.
10. Make it Mysterious
Visualizer:Tomek Michalski
You can double the visual intrigue in your all black kitchen by adding some mystery. In this kitchen, mood-lighting sets the scene in black and grey, while a marbled bench acts as the hero. The back inlet and flooring create contrast and depth. Taken together, these elements make the space an interesting one.
11. Layer Gray and Gold
Visualizer:Mitaka Dimov
Black kitchens are cool, but what if we layer in gray and add accents of gold? This stunning kitchen space uses gray flooring to add diversity to the otherwise black palette. The thick gold panel is one way that makes the space look incredibly high-end.
12. Add French Style to Black Kitchen Design
Visualizer:Aeroslon
Make your kitchen both modern and French with traditional black cabinetry. In this space, standing armoires act as sinks, and all other displayed items remain black. The stark white clock can surely act as the focal point of the space!
13. Consider Soft Elements
Visualizer:Julia Sultanova
Rough, light wood and low-hanging white lights set this kitchen interior a world apart. You can also notice a layer of light gray cabinetry, adding variation to the otherwise dark color palette. These elements factor in softness to the black kitchen design.
14. Let the Accessories Do the Talking
Photographer:Mikko Ryhänen
In this black-and-wood creation, the accessories take center stage in adorning the interior. We love the houseplant, but the crockery deserves a special mention for doubling as decor. The light oakwood backdrop further warms the space up.
15. Consider a Matte All Black Kitchen
Visualizer:HDR Designer
Neat square panels perfectly line up to emphasize the stark black minimalism that is at play here. We love how the cabinetry is matte black with no hardware, adding a sense of simplicity. The herb planters are a healthy green addition to bring the otherwise simple space.
16. Add Some Stencilling to Black Kitchens
Visualizer:Julia Sultanova
Fine lines and stencilling set this monochromatic space apart. Lined by black magnetic lights, black stencils and glossy white facades, it makes its mark on a light wooden floor.
17. Build a Shape Out of Black
Visualizer:Huso
18. Create a Modern Dark Kitchen with Gradients
Visualizer:Mario Nogueira
If you’re wondering how the intrigue in this space is working… It’s the gradients from black, to charcoal, to light grey. White surrounds in the walls and a monochromatic hanging light. This clever design technique makes sure the space is anything but boring, even if it’s using mere neutrals (minus the stunning orange dining chairs, of course).
19. Leverage Black Textures
Visualizer:Nefeli Kallianou
One instant way to add interest to a black kitchen is with textures, as seen in this metallic matte kitchen. This accounts for decorative presence in the light and bright space, providing character to an otherwise simple room.

Visualizer:Polygon
Yet another kitchen that uses black and wooden elements to create a dark-themed interior. What sets this one apart is the hanging pans.

Via:Emotion School
Industrial style lovers, rejoice! This is THE inspiration to set up your favorite interior design style, the dark way. This kitchen uses rustic wood and exposed elements for the ceiling to create an industrial black kitchen interior.

There’s nothing like personalizing your space to who YOU are. This kitchen serves the purpose by adding keepsakes and heirlooms. Also, black leaves room for details, so it’s one of the best colors to use if you’re hoping to display knick-knacks.

Who says dark colors make small spaces feel smaller? We only see black adding luxury to this compact space (with some credit to the white flooring adding brightness). This kitchen—with black marble backsplash—speaks opulence, and for all the right reasons!
27. Enhance Black Kitchen Design with Patterns
Visualizer:Ksenia Lenski

28. Don’t Forget a Black and White Rug

If you’re not in for a complete kitchen renovation, simply painting your cabinets black and adding a black-and-white patterned rug will achieve the purpose! We love how this kitchen keeps sets the base with white and tops it with black.
29. Let the Lighting Make a Statement in the All Black Kitchen
Architect:Artpartner Architects
When everything else is understated, letting the lighting create a statement is a good idea. This matte black kitchen interior uses rod lighting to do the talking. It sticks to the all black kitchen color scheme, though!
